β¦ Synopsis
Determinations of mRNA and enzyme protein analyses for the protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms, alpha, epsilon and zeta, representing the classical, novel and atypical groups, respectively, in murine erythroleukaemic (MEL) cells revealed the occurrence of cyclic behaviour in expression. Such rhythmicity was not apparent when multiple analyses using only a single timeβpoint were considered; the importance of incorporating a time component into experimental design was demonstrated. On induction of differentiation over a period of five days with hexamethylene bisacetamide, changes in the patterns of expression of mRNA and protein were apparent, as compared with those of untreated, proliferating cells. Modulation of the dynamics of the various PKC isoforms may represent a regulatory mechanism for the control of a diversity of cellular functions.

## Abstract Protein kinase Cβepsilon coordinately regulates changes in cell growth and shape. Cells overproducing protein kinase Cβepsilon spontaneously acquire a polarized morphology and extend long cellular membrane protrusions that are reminiscent of the morphology observed in __ras__βtransforme
Th1 and Th2 cells, which were induced from naive T cells of TCR-transgenic mice, showed differential sensitivity to activation-induced cell death (AICD) triggered by stimulation with anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody. The Th1 cells showed more rapid AICD than Th2 cells. This accelerated AICD of Th1 cells
In the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected brain, the virus does not replicate in astrocytes, but a synthesis of viral regulatory proteins occurs in these cells, leading to accumulation of Nef. As an approach to understand the effects of Nef on astrocyte functional activity, we anal
We used the U937 cell line to analyze CD14, CDI llCD18, HLA class-I and DR antigen expression during PMA-induced differentiation. Treatment of U937 cells with PMA markedly increased CDI4, CDI la, CDI Ib and CD18 antigen expression, and slightly increased CD I Ic expression. Protein kinase C may play
